If you were put in charge of a movie production about a person with blindness, what type of perceptions would you want to make sure are portrayed in your movie? What myths could you debunk? What stereotypes would you want to make sure to avoid? The importance of using their other senses to “see” what the world looks like. Those of us who can see are not aware of the importance of smell, and touch. We see with our eyes, while blind people see with their hands, ears, nose, etc. Blind people are not always unable to see everything. They can feel when the lights go lower, or the sun shines…

Blindness can be interpreted in many different ways. We can speak about blindness in the sense of physical blindness or emotionally blind, even so we can speak about being spiritually blind. In the end, it all comes to one thing, which is that blindness causes you to miss out or not see certain things depending on the subject. A blind man might say he has been blind all his life and has never seen the beauty of a rose but has only smelt the sweet fragrance of it, a devoted Christian might say that one is blind to the love of God who forgives all sins a human makes; a mother who blinded by love does not realize the negative activities her child has been involved in.…
Societal attitudes and beliefs can impact individuals with sensory loss in quite a negative way because people in society can be very judgmental towards people with disabilities, and put them in a group of people with below average intelligence and assume they can’t do or think the same way as other people without disabilities can. People in society can also be very prejudice and ignorant and think they are better than people with sensory loss, also thinking it gives them the right to make fun at them and making life difficult in the process. Although not all people think the same way there are many other people in society that are very open towards individuals with disabilities and sensory loss and can be very helpful and kind, this can have a positive impact on people’s lives.…

For years, people with blurry vision have had the opportunity to see clearly and optometrists have made this possible. Some people may take their vision for granted, but the world would not be what it is today if all the people that wear glasses or contact lenses, which is over half of the people in the United States, did not have the chance to see everything around them clearly. The Optometry profession is dedicated to the prevention of blindness and the enhancement of visual function. Optometrists have the satisfaction of helping their patients care for the most highly valued human sense - sight. Optometrists, also known as "Eye Doctors" or "O.D.'s" , examine eyes to diagnose vision problems and eye diseases. They determine a course of…

Historically, individuals with disabilities have been denied the opportunity to compete on an equal basis and pursue employment opportunities in society due to being characterized as weak, pitiful, dependent, and limited (Mayerson, 1992). The continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice contributed to a hostile and unadaptive society. People with disabilities endured a long history of the concept of “out of sight, out of mind”, and soon began to challenge societal barriers that excluded them not only from participating within the workplace, but from within their whole community environment. To alleviate this problem, the American’s with Disabilities…
